Description du poste

Do you want to make a difference?

Join the world’s largest humanitarian network. The Canadian Red Cross Society (CRCS) is a not for profit, humanitarian organization dedicated to helping Canadians, as well as the most vulnerable throughout the world.

The Canadian Red Cross – International Operations is seeking experienced Medical Laboratory Technologist (Lab Tech) professionals to join our Emergency Response Unit (ERU) delegate register! When you apply to this selection process, you are not applying for a specific job, rather you are applying for a position on the ERU register, to be called upon for future emergency deployments, as and when the need for your professional skillset is required. As opportunities become available, applicants who meet the qualifications may be contacted for further assessment.

Background

An ERU is composed of trained personnel (whom we call delegates) and state-of-the-art equipment ready to deploy at short notice nationally or internationally, to some of the most remote regions of the world, providing medical and healthcare aid to anyone affected by disasters and emergencies. ERUs may augment, or temporarily replace damaged or inaccessible local infrastructure with logistical, communication, administrative, clean water and sanitation support.

This opportunity means that if you are selected to be part of the ERU Medical Laboratory Technologist (Lab Tech) register, your application will be reviewed on a rolling-basis, and should you meet the role qualifications, we will contact you accordingly once there is a direct requirement for your profile and start you on the path of deploying with us as a delegate!

Requirements

To deploy with us on national or international missions as an ERU Medical Laboratory Technologist (Lab Tech) delegate, you must have:

Academic qualification as a Medical Laboratory Technologist

Current Professional Registration (registered and in good standing) in Canada

Preferred professional certification or post-graduate qualification in tropical disease diagnostics, humanitarian affairs or other relevant field

Minimum 3 years professional clinical experience
